Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The control variable used by the Newport^TM e360 during CPAP, pressure support, and time-cycled ventilation is pressure. The machine adjusts the amount of pressure delivered to the patient to achieve the desired outcome (e.g. maintaining airway patency during CPAP, assisting breathing effort during pressure support, etc.). Flow, volume, and time are all important parameters that are monitored and regulated by the e360, but pressure is the primary control variable.
